- By education I am a physical engineer (a title not well known in Anglosaxon countries, but that is the translation from the Dutch).
- I have been working at WL | Delft Hydraulics for a good many years now, first as a project engineer working on water quality modelling, later on as a computer scientist (well, sort of), working on user-interfaces and tools for our consulting activities.
- I "discovered" Tcl/Tk when reading a famous book by Boris Beizer (BOOK Software Testing Techniques), and later on my attention was drawn to it again in connection to a testing tool (automated GUI testing). It was simply the tool I had been looking for. For all kinds of purposes: testing, manipulating files, boring stuff that I used to do with UNIX shell scripts or DOS batch files and so on.
- My interests: FORTRAN as a computational language, Tcl as a language for almost anything else and even a bit of numerics if I can manage it, testing techniques (although I should listen to my own advocacy at times :-).
I have written several papers relating to Tcl:
- "Generating test programs using TestMake" - presented at the Second European Tcl/Tk User Meeting
- "Doing mathematics with Tcl" - presented at the Third European Tcl/Tk User Meeting
- "Combining FORTRAN and scripting languages" - published in the ACM FORTRAN Forum [1], Volume 21, Number 3, December 2002.
- "Creative use of the text widget" - presented at the Fourth European Tcl/Tk User Meeting
Current mega pet project: The young programmers' project, intended to produce a booklet or book for young people or unexperienced adults to learn programming [2]
